    I went for the Barrera vs Morales series. All three were close and could have gone either way in the decision. Great stuff.

    ............Fo pure, consistent action, Pac-Morales is the best bet of these choices.




    P.S..........no trilogy list in boxing is complete without Zale-Graziano. :D

    Based solely on action I would pick Marquez/Vazquez!


    MAB/Morales just had more of everything!

    Yeah, I was thinking of adding that, but I was trying to show more of the recent trilogies. I'll add that trilogy in some future thread topic. Thanks.

    Personally, I enjoyed the Holyfield/Bowe trilogy the most.

    I liked the Barrera vs Morales series as no-one dominated. In some of the other series, some of the fighters won by KO.

    Barrera-Morales was the closest.

    I liked Bowe-Holyfield the best because all 3 fights were very good and competitive.

    Zale-Graziano is supposed to be the most brutal of all trilogies. I can't compare it due to the lack of footage.

    The first Graziano vs Zale fight was supposed to be a war. Pity the first fight was never filmed.....

    i voted vasquez-marquez because of the quality of the third fight... it's uncommon for the best fight of a trilogy to be the last one... and it built up to an incredible climax in the twelfth round of the last fight... amazing... i don't know if anybody else who had money on the fight had this feeling, but when i was watching it, i felt honored and privileged to have bet on such a magnificent fight... i think it is akin to the reasoning behind why there were so many uncashed winning tickets on secretariat in the belmont when he won by 35 lengths

    Without any doubt, Vazquez-Marquez. It's not the same as Ali-Frazier in the historical significance or charisma category but I've NEVER EVER seen a rivalry THAT good fight after fight after fight.

    All 3 fights FOTY stuff between one of the best BW and SBW ever. What more do you want?
